Have an interview next week at a firm for an associate position. Haven’t interviewed in a long time so looking for advice. Is it acceptable to wear a charcoal grey suit as opposed to navy blue? What should I be bringing to the interview itself to come across as prepared, polished, and...
Hi Everybody, KKR recently acquired a remaining stake in Global Atlantic. It seems to me that the acquisition was led by the management company and not one of their funds. I am curious to understand whether it is common for PE management companies to acquire other companies, especially in other...
Know we here a lot about BX on this site, but I have some more specific questions: - How awful is the culture here? When I say culture I don’t mean hours, I mean the people and the environment. - What’s the actual all in comp at associate level? - What is their interview process and case study...
Hi guys, I just received an offer from a top BB in Europe for an A1 corporate banking position. I was wondering about potential exits and If it was a good choice from a mid/long term perspective. Some LevFin seem pretty natural and doable but how about PE/Private Credit roles ? In the meantime I...
`Hi folks, Have offers from LBS MIM and INSEAD MIM and tier 2/3 European MFINs but not sure which one to choose? I'm leaning towards LBS MIM as it's in London and seems to place well even for IB but others have told me to go to INSEAD for brand name Context: Ideally looking for SA 25 in IB but also...
Hi, If you receive a super day invite is it good practice to email all the interviewers in the process so far thanking them, or is that too much? Should I just thank the HR person who sent me the super day invite or should I go back to the previous interviewers from different teams, let them know I...
Hi, I am currently in Year 13 at sixth form in the UK. As an alternative option to university I am applying to degree apprenticeships at J.P. Morgan and UBS. Both of these come with Applied Finance degrees from Exeter University. It would be great to hear from past degree apprentices or people more...
Just finished an 18 hour workday. Cranked nonstop from 10am-4am but still awake / struggling to fall asleep. Anyone else have days like this and have any advice on dealing with general insomnia while working in IB? Thank you
What are some things that you’re proud of from this year? Any things come to mind? Curious to hear things like achievements, goals reached, promotions, new jobs, friendships made, relationships, anything really
Does IB differ in London or HK compared to NYC, and if so, how? Curious to hear from those who’ve worked in numerous offices / geographies. Interested in general culture, environment, hours, pay etc
Anyone ever been in a situation where you became better at the job than a supervisor? How does that work, how’d you work around that? I guess a typical example is an analyst 2/3 being more proficient at the job than an mba aso, but open to hearing experiences at other levels as well
Hello everyone, I’m currently in a BBA at EDHEC business school with a corporate finance specialisation. I have several experience in fintech, M&A boutiques. I’m currently applying for MSc in Corporate Finance, i applied to EMLYON, Edhec, Skema, Audencia and Kedge. Skema refused me, Kedge and...
I've observed so much work that's done in finance that is just seems to be a big illusion of complexity, exception being the stuff that some Quant HFs work on. Most stuff I see in PE is ratio analysis and deal terms and structures as being the most "technical components" of PE, of which the 80th...
Hi guys would appreciate some help here. I received 2 off-cycle offers from some pretty reputable banks. I received a LevFin offer for one of the banks and traditional investment banking coverage for the other bank. Ultimately I want to exit to PE and I am pretty worried about making the wrong...
Hey all, I applied to BCG literally a couple days ago, however I listed a different office than the one I desired as my first priority due to the innate ultra competitiveness of that office. However, a partner I've been talking to a bit had surprised me by offering a referral to my desired office....
Hello everyone, I'm not sure what hiring is like for Asians coming into US MBA programs, so I'm seeking for advice on this forum. I did my prior research, I don't think there are any posts that are directly relevant. I am attending Seoul national university, which is the best university here. I've...
Currently a 1st year analyst at a mid BB tech coverage group. Not particularly interested in traditional PE or growth equity but have developed a fair amount of interest in special situations and distressed private investing. Understand that these funds tend to invest in non-tech sectors. Is this a...
I wanna collect all of the stories in this thread and read them throughout my last years of life, so that at least I'll die on a good note, but not from boredom. Feel free to join, thanks a lot for every comment!
If I submit DA import offers and get picked up but don't flow power then I am settled against real-time. Having virtuals lets you get the same exposure but you have to tag it differently I think. Can someone pls help me with putting on DA and not flowing that vs putting on virtuals and how can I...
Hey there everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone here had some knowledge on FIU and how good it is for a student who is trying to get into Big 4 Audit/Tax, FDD, or Consulting. I've generally heard that being in South Florida is great if you are trying to get into any of these but I don't know exactly...
Ignore the title, but I have restricted shares vesting shortly, and without asking why would I choose not to withhold tax is it possible to pay tax at a later date instead of 40% being withheld immediately at time of vesting. If this is possible what would I have to do to choose this option. Thanks!
What is the right way to approach this questions. I obviously am, but why is this question TRULY asked - do the firms want to know how quickly to move? I obviously want to know ASAP but have no idea what to respond with in a way that would hurry them along.
What do the most technically / quantitatively adept quant hf / prop shop analysts do to stay sharp and continue to hone their skills many years after graduation? Generally I've seen very few get a masters while working since that's pretty intense. I've seen some pursue certifications like the CFA,...

I know this role is offered in NYC because of the sixth-point deal. With that said any news on Comp/Culture/Hours like for PCA at HW.
Does anyone have info on the strategic projects group at Hines? It seems to be a small arm of the firm focused on larger-scale initiatives vs investment/dev, but it has started recruiting MBAs.
Hey guys I’m currently going to radford university in Va we have some alumni on wall street one big one is a goldman sachs his name is Brian Robinson, just wanted to know if I can still make it in ib or s&t while going to this university, any advice for breaking in anything helps.
Please list occupation and $$$ amounts. I’m in corporate finance and get $30 for dinner if I work past 7pm. Tier 3 city. Limited expenses allowed on weekends if working. I must submit receipts for all expenses but can use a screenshot from my phone / credit card bill rather than the actual receipt...
Hello everyone, I am looking for some advice. I am a senior at a non target school, I have had experience at a boutique PE firm, and was at Goldman last summer. I turned down Goldman as I felt pigeonholed in wealth management and was already denied internal mobility within a different division. I am...
Hello everyone. Surprised at the lack of threads available for DESCO, so starting one. I've recently applied for the trader/analyst intern in the London office. Wondered if anyone has heard back about any interviews so far. Also, noticed that there is a Fundamental Equities (MBA) in the NY office....
Interested in this firm and have been networking with few guys from there. They were chill, described the firm as “entrepreneurial” (what does this mean exactly?) and that the hours weren’t bad, except if maybe a deal was live. Yet I come on here and it’s painted as hell on earth. Are the...
So I am a dual major in Finance and Comp Sci from a non-target. I interned in Equities this past summer at a BB and didn't really enjoy the work too much and decided not to go back. With the way recruiting is now going, I realize that I probably should have taken the offer and ran, but that is water...
With the recent deaths of Charlie Munger and Henry Kissinger, I've noticed a lot of people celebrating their demise on various social media platforms. With Charlie Munger, it's mostly been the far left tankie types who hate every billionaire and think no one can get rich without exploitation. I...
Does anyone know much about Guggenheim's LevFin team? Not a ton on here about them, but it looks like they've gained momentum. I think it's also a part of the Sponsors team. Does anyone know how that structure works? I would think the buildout of PEAG should boost activity, but also not sure how...
What title said. Anyone here play clash of clans?
I am currently doing group placement, and it just seems like I am being made to talk to every single junior in all the teams of interest. This seems much more strenuous and hard work than the SA networking process, so I am just wondering how it actually works internally in terms of rankings. Do all...
Has anyone ever done an in person case study at a hedge fund. Preparing now and a little overwhelmed by doing this all in person with time constraint. Also because this is limited time is the focus going to be more on I know what I’m doing or how perfect the data/format is. The case study is with...
I initially joined finance because A) I wanted something that was intellectually challenging and competitive and B) I wanted to make a lot of money. Long story short, I grinded to network, did the internships, and started full-time as an analyst at a great firm in the summer. I wouldn’t say the...
